Stateside for Wednesday, April 9, 2014

A new $450-million hockey arena is on the way for the Red Wings in Detroit. Sixty percent of it is being paid for by taxpayers.

Will that investment from the city pay off? And what lessons can we learn from other similar deals around the nation?

And we talk about diversity on college campuses. Are mixed-race students counted?

Also, raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour, and closing the pay gap between men and women; those are key parts of the 2014 midterm election campaign for Democrats.
